A Woman Half My Age
Love's Reckoning: Rediscovering Passion Beyond Time
Lyrics
You say, I've lost you to a woman half my age
You claim that you've chosen a younger woman, causing me to lose you.
A lovely young acquaintance that you've made
You've met a charming younger woman.
You say, your love for me, you've laid aside
You've set aside your love for me.
And she's rekindled flames, you thought had died
This new woman has reignited emotions in you that you thought were extinguished.
But if your love affair with her goes wrong
If your relationship with her doesn't work out,
And if you miss the love you left at home
And if you start missing the love we shared,
Come back and we'll tear out this tarnished page
Come back to me, and we'll move past this difficult situation.
And we'll forget that woman half my age
We'll try to forget about the younger woman you've been involved with.
The lines that time has etched upon my brows
My face shows the marks of time passing.
A face grown too familiar to you now
You've grown accustomed to my aging appearance.
The look that often took the place of words
My expressions, often wordless, have been replaced by her looks.
You're replacing now with looks from her
You're now seeking emotional connection through her expressions.
But if your love affair with her goes wrong
If things go awry with her,
And if you miss the love you left at home
And if you realize you miss the love we had,
Come back and we'll tear out this tarnished page
Come back to me, and we'll move on from this troubled phase.
And we'll forget that woman half my age
We'll try to erase the memory of the younger woman from our lives.
Yes, we'll forget that woman half my age
We'll actively forget about the younger woman you were involved with.
